197: Are the Democrats climbing the steps to Dr. Guillotine? @VDHanson @HooverInst
Image: 17th-century engraving of a guillotine. Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover 7 National Review, in re: Peak Jacobinism. Peak me-tooism with Brett Kavanaugh. Denunciations of the 153 Harper’s signatories. We learn from the letter: careerism; the Internet mob; effort to take out a well-known person and thereby elevate their own status. Let homeless take over parks, defund police, crash statues; shut down 911. A demand letter directed at Princeton University: wanted a faculty-student committee of public safety, unaccountable to anyone. The administration caved in and didn't even object. Also: review hiring, firing, language, lecture. It's not even class-driven; it’s race-driven. Demand race quotas, theme houses, safe spaces, rec centers, all based on race. Forget Dr Martin Luther King. Why aren’t the adults in charge pushing back? One: hatred of Donald Trump, so this movement creates chaos and anarchy against Trump; two, these people have cushy jobs, will do anything to prevent people coming to my home and screaming at me. Cowardly. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/peak-jacobinism/
